GPS-free navigation has cleared a major hurdle: SandboxAQ's AQNav magnetic anomaly navigation software completed its first flight test on Northrop Grumman's Lumberjack attack drone in August 2026, ...

Honeywell and DIU plan to test the technology on a US military C-17 Globemaster III cargo aircraft later this year.

How can vehicles navigate where GPS signals cannot reach? Diamond-based quantum sensors are being developed to use Earth’s magnetic field for positioning.

In a nutshell: Today's typical navigation-grade motion sensors are about the size of a grapefruit, helping steer ships, planes, and vehicles in conjunction with GPS signals. This means they always ...

Sophia Feona Cantiller, a cum laude graduate in Computer Science from the University of the Philippines, swapped coding bugs for content buzz. Her true love? Writing stories. A navigation system that ...

Q-CTRL's maritime navigation system uses quantum gravimeters to measure Earth's gravity variations and determine vessel position without relying on GPS signals. During trials, the navigation ...

The strategic vulnerability of GPS dependency is now a primary operational risk. Jamming and spoofing have degraded precision-guided munitions to the point that redundant, GPS-independent navigation ...

New navigation satellites in low-Earth orbit could provide 100 times stronger signal strength compared to GPS and other global navigation satellite systems operating from higher orbital ...

Imagine having to find your way with only a compass and the stars and being handed a GPS. This is what David Marpaung and colleagues have just done for designers of light-based chips. Through their ...

No GPS available in space? A satellite experiment may have a solution for that. NASA's Starling mission — made up of a swarm of four cubesats in low Earth orbit (LEO) — is testing out navigation by ...
